There are a number of aspiring photographers out there. If you are one of them, one thing that you most probably have stocked up is good photos that you don’t know what to do with. Have you considered selling them online? There are a number of sites where you can upload your photos and get paid for them.
One such service is Shutterstock. You get paid $0.25 each time an image of yours is downloaded. Once you have reached $500 in earnings, the rate goes up to $0.30 per download. What are the chances of your image being downloaded at Shutterstock? Based on the subscription model they run I think the chances are high. Buyers subscribe on a monthly basis and can upload up to 750 images over the course of 30 days. You can upload as many images as you like and this will only increase your earning potential. The minimum payout amount is $75 with payments being made monthly via cheque, PayPal or Moneybookers.
I just joined Photrade, love it so far…love it even more when the ad rev is back online and fully functional.
Been seriously considering the stock option as well!

Gerri – Shoot me an email if you don’t have an invite yet. I can hook you up.
Good to see you keen for feedback Kristy. I think the idea of Photrade is a great one. I’ve put in an invitation request and hope to get one soon and try it out. If anyone has a spare invite, please throw it my way! 😀
